Well, as an update the previous posts about our Final Share SAN, yesterday we installed a new Ethernet card to bypass the new Mac Pro ports altogether, but unfortunately ran into another snag. Final Cut Pro won’t even launch with the card in the machine. No clue why at the moment. My guess is some sort of a conflict with one of the other cards that are in there and for whatever reason, FCP is just throwing up when it tries to launch.
So more head scratching and sleuthing for the guys to see what’s causing the conflict. Their suggestion was to re-install FCP, but I’m not doing that right now in the middle of all this production and especially since FCP runs perfectly fine with the card removed.
So for the moment, we’re dealing with the disconnects and moving on with the edit.
